Some of the nastiest and earliest viruses were macro viruses in excel and
word documents. Most corporate machines prevent macro's from allowable
execution without a warning (if they allow it at all). Also, thumb drives
are possibly the biggest threat to corporate computers. An audit team from a
top 3 firm I know tested the security mechanisms in a company by dropping
infected thumb drives in the parking lot and watching how people picked them
up and plugged them into the corporate computers.

As the thumb drives, like cds/dvds, will play an autoplay file when mounted,
its a perfect way to inject a virus if people allow it to run.

Most secure shops prohibit thumb drives.
